按10%餐費算的 .. that is good ga la..  

Many rests ..  put 15-18% !!

10% is probably the standard for Chinese restaurants.
15%+ is the standard for Western restaurants, unless it's ghetto one.

any lawyers here/?

can anyone answer.. it is against the law when we are not paying the tip when it is listed?
If so i will pay cash and refuse deduce the tips amount.


i pay 15-20% usually...max 20% ... if service is poor but acceptable at 10%
but when there is a poor service ... i give no tips at all.

No lawyer yet, but like I said before, it's not so much a 'legal or not' issue.. but rather a civil wrong. In this case, the conduct would be the breaching of contract between the restaurant and the diner. It is entirely up the victim (server or diner) to assemble the evidence and formulate the the legal arguments which will be necessary in order to support their claims, and to decide whether to bring proceedings in the courts.

So if the restaurant stated the gratuity as a 'service charge,' and it was presented clearly on the menu or by your server, then you should have a good reason to challenge the charge/contract before you pay less. Note that many restaurant bills had changed "gratuity charges" to "service charges" because gratuities are legally stated as "optional" while service charges are not if written clearly before you order.

Is it possible to ask to deduct the tips if they have already included in the bill and their service is horrible?

I went to Chili House Thai restaurant restaurant and they automatically add 15% to the bill.

If you paid by credit card, there is a line for gratitude too.  If I did not read the fine print from the menu, I would have put another 10% to the bill.
